Class Unmarshaller.Listener

public abstract static class Unmarshaller.Listener
extends Object

Register an instance of an implementation of this class with Unmarshaller to externally listen for unmarshal events. This class enables pre and post processing of an instance of a JAXB mapped class as XML data is unmarshalled into it. The event callbacks are called when unmarshalling XML content into a JAXBElement instance or a JAXB mapped class that represents a complex type definition. The event callbacks are not called when unmarshalling to an instance of a Java datatype that represents a simple type definition. External listener is one of two different mechanisms for defining unmarshal event callbacks. See Unmarshal Event Callbacks for an overview. (@link #setListener(Listener)} (@link #getListener()}

target - non-null instance of JAXB mapped class prior to unmarshalling into it.

parent - instance of JAXB mapped class that will eventually reference target. null when target is root element.

afterUnmarshal

public void afterUnmarshal(Object target,
                           Object parent)

Parameters:

target - non-null instance of JAXB mapped class prior to unmarshalling into it.
